That makes it a very special painting surface, whether it for is a wall hanging, art quilt or scarf. The softness and liquidity of the silk- painting process is very different from working on canvas. The dyes have a mind of their own. Once the brush touches the silk, I am committed. There is no backtracking. A native of Jamaica transplanted to the prairie, Phillippa Lack has been painting on silk for over 20 years. More general fiberarts work have been a recent addition to her repertoire, and she is enjoying the freedom of collage and mixed media compositions. Recently, returning to her childhood teachings, she is creating handpainted silk landscape collages combined with silk ribbon embroidery to further extend her reach into the medium. She works from photographs or sketches made of real, or imaginary, scenes. She chooses her fabrics from those she’s painted, and sometimes use commercial materials. Unexpected found objects play a part, too. Garden With Poppies Leaves Vedawoo Grape Ties Three Scarves Five Scarves Poppy Scarf Tangled Web Tangled Yarn Morning Glory
